Bonds Pauling’s

Pauling s electronegativity is a different concept based on the idea that, in a heteronuclear molecule, polar bonds are stronger than purely covalent bonds. Pauling s electronegativity is a measure of the ionic resonance energy [9]. 

Results obtained using Pauling s bond energy terms. 

The compounds of carbon and silicon with hydrogen would be expected to be completely covalent according to these models, but the dhectionality of the bonds, which is towards the apices of a regular tetrahedron, is not explained by these considerations. Another of Pauling s suggestions which accounts for this type of directed covalent bonding involves so-called hybrid bonds. 

The discovery of the ci-helix structure was only one of many achievements that led to Pauling s Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1954. The official citadon for the prize wa.s for his research into the nature of die chemical bond and its application to die elucidadon of the structure of complex substances. ...

Another objection to Pauling s model is that it would include hydrogen bonds of different kinds which should show up in the infrared spectrum but for which there is so far no evidence. 

Photo 7 Linus Pauling with Jack Sherman at Caltech, 1933. Sherman, along with G. W. Wheland, were two of Pauling s closest collaborators in developing and applying his concepts of the nature of the chemical bond (SP 8, SP 9, SP 10, SP 13, SP 16) and in using quantum mechanics to analyze molecular properties (SP 66). 

Chapter 9, on entropy and molecular rotation in crystals and liquids, is concerned mostly with statistical mechanics rather than quantum mechanics, but the two appear together in SP 74. Chapter 9 contains one of Pauling s most celebrated papers, SP 73, in which he explains the experimentally measured zero-point entropy of ice as due to water-molecule orientation disorder in the tetrahedrally H-bonded ice structure with asymmetric hydrogen bonds (in which the bonding proton is not at the center of the bond). This concept has proven fully valid, and the disorder phenomenon is now known to affect greatly the physical properties of ice via the...
